What Are the Long-Term Savings of LASIK?

While the upfront cost of LASIK may seem high, ranging between $1,499 to $2,499 per eye, the long-term savings can make it a worthwhile investment. Over time, LASIK can help eliminate recurring expenses associated with glasses, contacts, and vision care.

No More Vision Correction Costs

The cost of prescription eyewear adds up quickly. Disposable contact lenses can range from $30 to $70 per box, while prescription glasses often cost over $200, with designer frames driving that number even higher. Factor in accessories, replacements, and regular eye exams, and the expenses can easily reach thousands of dollars over a few years.

LASIK patients save not only money but time. After LASIK, you no longer need to worry about ordering contacts, dealing with insurance restrictions, or replacing lost or broken glasses. The minutes saved on daily contact lens maintenance or searching for misplaced glasses add up over the years—giving you both financial relief and more time for other activities.

 

What Are the Statistics Related to the Safety of LASIK?

LASIK surgery has become an increasingly popular option for vision correction, with over 9.5 million Americans opting for the procedure by 2018. Its convenience, success rates, and overall safety make it a trusted choice for many.

High Success Rates of LASIK

Research shows that LASIK has impressive outcomes, with studies reporting success rates between 96-98%. Here’s a breakdown of what patients can expect:

  • 99% achieve 20/40 vision or better
  • 90% reach the ideal 20/20 vision
  • 50% even surpass 20/20 vision

Factors Contributing to LASIK’s Success

LASIK’s success is driven by:

  • Advanced laser systems
  • Precision techniques
  • Highly skilled surgeons with specialized training

These elements ensure that most patients experience excellent results.

Minimal Complications and Risks

Complication rates for LASIK are remarkably low, estimated at less than 1%. While some patients may experience mild irritation or light sensitivity initially, these symptoms generally resolve within 3-6 months. Serious issues, such as problems with the corneal flap, are rare thanks to modern laser precision and surgeon expertise.

LASIK Affordability

Though LASIK’s safety and effectiveness are well-documented, affordability remains a barrier for some. Financing options and health savings plans can make this life-changing procedure more accessible.

  • What is LASIK?

    LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a laser vision correction procedure that reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By altering the cornea’s shape, LASIK helps light to focus correctly onto the retina, resulting in improved vision. LASIK has become one of the most common elective procedures globally, with millions of people choosing this vision correction surgery to improve their quality of life
  • How long does the LASIK procedure take?

    The LASIK procedure typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes. It’s important to note that the actual laser treatment time is usually only a matter of seconds, as the laser is used to reshape the cornea. However, you should plan to spend a couple of hours at the center on the day of your procedure to allow for pre-operative preparations, such as numbing eye drops, and post-operative assessments to ensure everything went smoothly. The specific timeline and details of your custom bladeless LASIK procedure will be discussed with you during your consultation.

  • Is LASIK painful?

    During the bladeless LASIK procedure, you will receive numbing eye drops to ensure your comfort. As a result, most patients experience little to no pain or discomfort during the procedure. LASIK aims to gently reshape the cornea by treating minuscule tissue sections using a precise laser. Throughout the process, the LASIK surgeon ensures patient comfort. It is important to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize any discomfort. Read More

  • Does insurance cover LASIK?

    In most cases, LASIK is considered an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if they offer any coverage or reimbursement for LASIK surgery. Our team can also provide guidance on potential financing options to make LASIK more affordable for you. Learn More

  • How long is LASIK Recovery in Kansas City?

    LASIK recovery time can vary from person to person, but in general, most patients can expect to return to their normal activities within a few days.

    It’s important to note that each individual’s healing process may vary, and some patients may experience faster or slower recovery times. Your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions and monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to ensure a successful recovery.

  • Who Qualifies for LASIK?

    LASIK is suitable for many individuals. During your consultation, our LASIK specialist will conduct a comprehensive eye examination to evaluate your candidacy for LASIK surgery. They will discuss your individual case and determine the most suitable vision correction options for you. Here are some factors that may determine your candidacy for LASIK surgery:

    • Healthy corneas
    • Not have an active eye disease
    • Stable prescription: Candidates for LASIK should have a stable vision prescription for at least one year before the surgery.
    • Age: LASIK is typically recommended for individuals over 18 years old, as their vision should have stabilized by this time.
    • Good overall eye health: Candidates should have healthy eyes, free from any significant eye conditions or diseases.
    • Sufficient corneal thickness: LASIK requires a certain amount of corneal tissue to safely reshape the cornea. A thorough examination will determine if you have sufficient corneal thickness for the procedure. During your consultation at our LASIK Eye Surgery Center in Kansas City, our surgeons will conduct a comprehensive eye examination to evaluate your candidacy for LASIK surgery. They will discuss your individual case and determine the most suitable vision correction options for you.
